10 The Order of Vandalia is West Virginia University’s highest award for service to the University. The Order includes a long line of dedicated Mountaineers who have impacted the University through outstanding service. During Commencement Weekend, new members are inducted into this elite group in a ceremony hosted by the WVU Alumni Association. aliSon deeM Alison Deem graduated from West Virginia University in 1970, and has been a champion of the University ever since. She has generously given her time and resources to promoting and improving the arts at WVU, especially within the College of Creative Arts. She is a past member and former chair of the College of Creative Arts Visiting Committee. through that work, she was instrumental in growing support, visibility, and engagement through new scholarships and educational opportunities. In addition, she continues to serve on both the Pittsburgh Symphony orchestra-West Virginia University Partnership Board and the newly formed Friends organizing Committee of the Art museum of West Virginia University. For over 15 years, Alison Deem and her husband, Patrick Deem, a graduate of the WVU College of Law and a practicing attorney with Steptoe & Johnson PLLC, have provided financial support for the Deem Distinguished Artist Lecture Series, which brings leading contemporary artists and scholars to the College of Creative Arts. In addition, they established the J. Bernard Schultz endowed Professorship in Art in honor of former College of Creative Arts Dean and Director of the Creative Arts Center, Bernie Schultz. the Professorship provides funding to support research and creative activity by a professor of art at WVU. the Deems have also made an initial contribution to the proposed Art museum of West Virginia University. ms. Deem is also a member, and past president, of the United Way of Harrison County and a member of the Board of trustees of the Bridgeport Public Library. She is also a founding member and past president of the Harrison Arts Council, Inc. She is a former member of the Board of the Clarksburg-Harrison Public Library, the West Virginia Library Commission, the Community Foundation of north Central West Virginia, Inc., the United Health Foundation, and the Advisory Committee on the Arts of the John F.

Paul CHriStoPHer FarMer Paul Christopher Farmer came to West Virginia University from mullens, West Virginia, to study mining engineering, and graduated in 1956. As a student, he was an active member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity and has remained an active alumnus, serving as an original and continuing board member of WVU’s Kappa Alpha Building Association and the Alumni Board. He was instrumental in planning and raising money for the new Kappa Alpha house that is a model for other fraternities. Paul Farmer has shown his dedication and service to WVU in many ways over the years. He served as president of the national Capital Area Chapter of the WVU Alumni Association, making it one of the most successful alumni chapters in the country. For nearly 23 years, he ran buses packed with mountaineer fans to many home and away football games. Paul never allowed the outcome of the contest to determine the success of the trip, making it a point to share time with his guests and enjoy good food and good fun with them. As “Head Crab,” Paul oversees the largest non-athletics fundraiser for the WVU Alumni Association, the D.C. area WVU Alumni Association Crab Feast. the event has grown significantly under the 34 years of his leadership. What started out as a small backyard gathering has grown into an event that accommodates over 800 people, including the mountaineer. Paul received the first John F. nicholas Jr. award from WVU in 1998. In 2009, he was given the national Capital Area Chapter Lifetime Achievement award. the Alpha Rho Chapter of Kappa Alpha also presented him with an appreciation award. A graduate of the George Washington University School of Law, he worked for the Washington, D.C., metropolitan Area transit Authority as an attorney, the D.C. Highway Department, and served as a lieutenant in Korea with the U.S. Army Corps of engineers. He currently resides in Fairfax, Virginia. 2012 Order of Vandalia Honorees COMMENCEMENT 2012 | 10 COMMENCEMENT 2012 | 11 EDNA BENNETT PIERCE Edna Bennett Pierce grew up near the West Virginia and Ohio state lines in Beaver, Pennsylvania. She learned the art of giving from her parents, metallurgical engineer, Karl, and homemaker and teacher, Alice Gordon Peterson. Edna graduated from Penn State University in 1953 with a B.S. in Home Economics. While at Penn State, she met, and later married, C. Eugene Bennett, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in chemistry from West Virginia University. He later went on to earn his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and his M.B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Together, the Bennetts raised six children - Karl, Linda, David, Susan, Carol, and Alice - in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania and Wilmington, Delaware. Edna is now the grandmother of twelve and the great-grandmother of one. After Eugene’s death in 1996, she married A. Duer Pierce, Jr., through whom she added three adult children, three grandchildren, and, subsequently, three great-grandchildren to her proud family. She has been active in her church, teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, and, over the years, serving on five different boards. She has also served on the boards of Ingleside Retirement Home, the Delaware Symphony Orchestra, and Opera Delaware. She served on the Campaign Steering Committee for the Grand Destiny Campaign of the Pennsylvania State University and is currently serving on the Development Council of the College of Health and Human Development. She has been instrumental in renewing the playground of the Nursery School at Penn State, establishing the Prevention Research Center for the Promotion of Human Development, building the Bennett Day Care Center, and establishing the Bennett Lectureship in Prevention Science. At WVU, Eugene and Edna Bennett established the Careers for Chemists program and established an endowment for a Professor of Chemistry. In 1979, they hosted the first Delaware Chapter WVU picnic at their estate, an event that has become a yearly tradition. Since Eugene’s death, Edna has continued to support the Department of Chemistry and host the popular Delaware WVU picnic. BENJAMIN M. STATLER Benjamin Statler and his wife, Jo, recently pledged the largest single gift commitment ever made to West Virginia University, a $34 million gift to benefit the newly re-named Benjamin M. Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. This gift includes funds for construction of a new advanced engineering research facility, the establishment of the Statler Research Scholars Program, scholarships and research support for undergraduates majoring in engineering, creation of three endowed faculty chairs in energy research, and a graduate research fellows program. This is but one of the generous gifts the Statlers have made to WVU over the years. With nearly $60 million of support given to their alma mater, the Statlers have been able to fund the comprehensive breast cancer program at WVU’s Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, The Erickson Alumni Center building, the new Basketball Practice Facility, Mountaineer Athletics, and programs in the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources. In addition, Benjamin Statler has given his time to WVU as a member of the Department of Mining Engineering Visiting Committee and the WVU Foundation board of directors. For his commitment and service, he has been inducted into the WVU Academy of Distinguished Alumni and the West Virginia Business Hall of Fame. He holds an honorary doctorate in sciences from WVU and has received both the WVU Foundation Outstanding Philanthropist Award and Milan Puskar Award. In addition, he has been named by WVU as a Most Loyal West Virginian and a Distinguished Engineer of Mines. Benjamin Statler is a 1973 graduate of WVU. He began his career as a laborer with CONSOL in 1969. He advanced steadily over the years, rising to the positions of section foreman, assistant superintendent, superintendent and technical assistant to vice president of Morgantown operations before becoming vice president of Moundsville and Ohio operations. In 1994, he was named senior vice president of mining for the eastern region, and in 1996, he became senior vice president of mining for CONSOL. In 1999, he retired from CONSOL to start his own mining company, PinnOak Resources, which is an entrepreneurial coal mining and energy resources group, with annual production capacity in excess of seven million tons of high-quality, low- volatile metallurgical coal. The company has had a positive economic impact on West Virginia and the nation. Benjamin sold PinnOak in 2007. He is currently CEO of Gulf Coast Capital Partners, a private investment firm he co- founded. The Statlers reside in McMurray, Pennsylvania and Naples, Florida.
